Being able to put php directives in httpd.conf and have them work on a per-directory or per-vitual host basis is just great. Now there's another aspect which might be worth being aware of:
A php.ini directive put into your apache conf file applies to php when it runs as an apache module (i.e. in a web page), but NOT when it runs as CLI (command-line interface).
Such feature that might be unwanted by an unhappy few, but I guess most will find it useful. As far as I'm concerned, I'm really happy that I can use open_basedir in my httpd.conf file, and it restricts the access of web users and sub-admins of my domain, but it does NOT restrict my own command-line php scripts...
Wie man Konfigurationseinstellungen ändert
PHP läuft als Apachemodul
Wenn man PHP als Apachemodul verwendet, kann man die Konfigurationseinstellungen mittels Direktiven in den Apache-Konfigurationsdateien (z.B. httpd.conf) und .htaccess-Dateien ändern. Dafür benötigt man "AllowOverride Options"- oder "AllowOverride All"-Privilegien.
Es gibt verschiedene Apachedirektiven, die es erlauben,
die PHP-Konfiguration aus den Apache-Konfigurationsdateien heraus zu
ändern. Für eine Liste von Direktiven, die als
PHP_INI_ALL, PHP_INI_PERDIR,
oder PHP_INI_SYSTEM definiert sind, werfen Sie einen
Blick auf den Anhang
Liste von php.ini Einstellungen.
-
php_valueNameWert -
Setzt den Wert der angegebenen Direktive. Kann nur für Direktiven mit den Typen
PHP_INI_ALLundPHP_INI_PERDIRverwendet werden. Um einen vorher gesetzten Wert zu löschen, verwenden Sienoneals Wert.Hinweis: Verwenden Sie
php_valuenicht, um boolesche Werte zu setzen.php_flag(siehe unten) sollte stattdessen verwendet werden. -
php_flagNameon|off -
Setzt eine boolesche Konfigurationsdirektive. Kann nur für Direktiven mit den Typen
PHP_INI_ALLundPHP_INI_PERDIRverwendet werden. -
php_admin_valueNameWert -
Setzt den Wert der angegebenen Direktive. Dies kann nicht in .htaccess-Dateien verwendet werden. Jeder Direktiventyp, der mit
php_admin_valuegesetzt wird, kann nicht durch .htaccess-Direktiven oder mit ini_set() überschrieben werden. Um einen vorher gesetzten Wert zu löschen, verwenden Sienoneals Wert. -
php_admin_flagNameon|off -
Setzt eine boolesche Konfigurationsdirektive. Dies kann nicht in .htaccess-Dateien verwendet werden. Jeder Direktiventyp, der mit
php_admin_valuegesetzt wird, kann nicht durch .htaccess-Direktiven oder ini_set() überschrieben werden.
Beispiel #1 Apache-Konfigurationsbeispiel
<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php" php_admin_flag engine on </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php" php_admin_flag engine on </IfModule>
Achtung
PHP-Konstanten existieren nicht außerhalb von PHP. So kann man z.B. in
der httpd.conf nicht PHP-Konstanten wie E_ALL
oder E_NOTICE verwenden, um den Wert der
error_reporting-Direktive
zu ändern, da diese keine Bedeutung haben und als 0
ausgewertet werden. Verwenden Sie stattdessen die zugehörigen
Bitmasken-Werte direkt. Diese Konstanten können in der php.ini
verwendet werden.
Die PHP-Konfiguration mit der Windows Registry ändern
Wenn Sie PHP unter Windows einsetzen, können Sie die
Konfigurationseinstellungen für jedes einzelne Verzeichnis mit der
Windows-Registry anpassen. Die Werte der Konfiguration werden unterhalb
des Registrierungsschlüssels
HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory Values in den zum
Verzeichnisnamen passenden Unterschlüssel gespeichert.Zum Beispiel
würden Werte für das Verzeichnis c:\inetpub\wwwroot
im Registrierungsschlüssel HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory
Values\c\inetpub\wwwroot gespeichert werden. Die
Einstellungen für dieses Verzeichnis wären für alle Skripte aktiv,
die in diesem Verzeichnis oder einem seiner Unterverzeichnisse laufen.
Die Werte in diesem Schlüssel sollten den Namen eine PHP-
Konfigurationsdirektive und einen Zeichenkettenwert haben.
Konstenten in den Werten werden nicht ausgewertet. Es können jedoch
nur Werte, die in PHP_INI_USER änderbar sind,
auf diese Weise gesetzt werden, nicht als
PHP_INI_PERDIR deklarierte Werte,
da diese Konfigurationswerte für jeden Request erneut gelesen werden.
Andere Zugänge zu PHP
Egal wie Sie PHP betreiben, Sie können bestimmte Werte zur Laufzeit Ihrer Skripte mittels ini_set() setzen. Werfen Sie dazu einen Blick auf die Dokumentation von ini_set().
Wenn Sie an einer kompletten Liste von Konfigurationseinstellungen Ihres Systems inklusive deren aktuellen Werten interessiert sind, können Sie die Funktion phpinfo() ausführen und die daraus resultierende Seite betrachten. Sie können auf die Werte einzelner Konfigurationsdirektiven zur Laufzeit mittels ini_get() oder get_cfg_var() zugreifen.

On Windows, as the documentation above states, you cannot set max_upload_filesize and post_max_size in the registry, because they are PHP_INI_PERDIR.
Confusingly, however, is the fact that phpinfo() will show your changes if you do add those to the regsitry, as if they were taking effect. However, the upload size is *not* changed, regardless of what phpinfo() reports.
I believe the reading of registry values and override happen 'too late' in the request processing, ie, after the file has already been uploaded and rejected.
In a perfect world, phpinfo() would recognize this and not report the overridden values, which is very confusing.

One of the most serious problems here is that it is hard to determine programmatically which of three or more possible configuration methods (php.ini, .user.ini, .htaccess) should be used on any given hosting company's server.
The worst outcome is if an install.php routine attempts to set .htaccess directives on a cgi-mode server, in which case the outcome is usually a '500' crash. Once in that situation the php installation routine cannot be rerun to correct the problem, so you effectively have a hosting lockout situation which can only be corrected by manual intervention.

@ pgl: As the documentation says:
"To clear a previously set value use none as the value."
Works fine for me.

You will fail if you try to change configuration settings of PHP with the php_value directive in Apache 2.4.

Open php.ini from c:/php in your text editor
If you installed Apache in the default location, the path should
be "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs". If you installed
it elsewhere, find the htdocs folder and type its path:
doc_root = "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs"
Just a little further down in the file, look for the line that begins with remove the semicolon from the start of the extension_
dir, and set it so that it points to the ext subfolder of your PHP folder:
extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext"
These are optional extensions to PHP, disabled by default. We
want to enable the MySQL extension so that PHP can communicate with MySQL.
To do this, remove the semicolon from the start of the php_mysqli.dll line:
extension=php_mysqli.dll
note - php_mysqli, not php_mysql
Keep scrolling even further down in the file, and look for a line that starts with
;session.save_path. Once again, remove the semicolon to enable this line,
and set it to your Windows Temp folder:
session.save_path = "C:\Windows\Temp"
Browse to the conf subfolder in your Apache
installation folder (by default, C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\conf), and select the httpd.conf file located there. In order
to make this file visible for selection, you’ll need to select All Files (*.*) from the
file type drop-down menu at the bottom of the Open window.
Look for the existing line in this file that begins with DirectoryIndex, shown
here:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
This line tells Apache which filenames to use when it looks for the default page
for a given directory. Add index.php to the end of this line:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
All of the remaining options in this long and intimidating configuration file
should have been set up correctly by the Apache install program. All you need
to do is add the following lines to the very end of the file:
LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP"
Make sure the LoadModule and PHPIniDir lines point to your PHP installation
directory, and note the use of forward slashes (/) instead of backslashes (\) in
the paths.
Save your changes and Restart Apache using the Apache Service Monitor system tray icon. If all is
well, Apache will start up again without complaint.

PHP Constants will work with php_value; for example:
php_value error_reporting 30711 #bitmask is the same as
php_value error_reporting "E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE" #string of constants

Running PHP under Apache poses a major problem when it comes to per-directory configuration settings for PHP. In Apache virtual hosting, only a master PHP configuration file (i.e. php.ini) is parsed at run-time per PHP script. Under IIS 6.0 or greater, you can include per-directory PHP configuration files to override or overwrite the master configuration settings. The issue here, however, is having Apache virtual hosts override/overwrite master settings; not what IIS can do.
So, there are two possible solutions. The first solution is described in this section and uses the Apache configuration settings php_value, php_flag, php_admin_value, and php_admin_flag. In that, each virtual host which you'd like to have certain configuration settings changed must have these directives set (and that is for each PHP configuration setting). This, to me, is the more viable solution, although it is time-consuming and mentally taxing.
The other possible solution is to set the PHPRC environment variable. To my knowledge, all implementations of Apache HTTPD allow for the SetEnv directive to set the PHPRC variable per-virtual-host. What that does is tell PHP to look in the specified location for that virtual host's configuration settings file (i.e. "C:/path/to/custom/php.ini"). The only downside to this tactic is that EVERY virtual host's custom php.ini file must contain all set parameters. In other words, every single PHP configuration directive you have set in the master php.ini file must ALSO be set in per-virtual-host configuration settings. Doesn't that suck? It seems rather redundant to me (and completely defeats the purpose) that you have to include all configuration settings OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
The great thing about per-directory configuration settings (when they're implemented correctly) is that PHP already has the master settings pre-loaded and the per-directory settings (which may only ammount to one directive in difference) can be loaded per request and, thus, there is less over-head.
There really is more to this topic than that, which is why I blogged a rather lengthy and detailed article here: http://hyponiq.blogspot.com/2009/02/apache-php-multiple-phpini.html This information is meant to help users and administrators. I highly suggest it be read if anyone has any questions on Apache and PHP configurations. I have included some examples that illustrate the two possible solutions, as well. I did my best to research everything before I wrote the article.
I hope this helps!
==== 10-FEB-09: ====
I must add a little more information:
I've done some thorough testing on my PC as to the PHPRC environment variable set by the Apache directive SetEnv. It seems to me that this variable is completely disregarded using that directive. I tried everything and can only come to the conclusion that either A) I did something very wrong, or B) that it simply doesn't work as expected.
The former solution, however, does work magically! So, to expand on my previous post, the only real and viable solution to this problem is to use the php_value, php_flag, php_admin_value and php_admin_flag directives in your virtual hosts configurations.
Once again, it can be very boring! But it does work.

With IIS it can become confusing that changes to php.ini are ineffective. It seems it is necessary to restart the application pool for the changes to be seen. It would be great if this was not necessary - I am sure I have worked with systems where php.ini changes were immediately effectvie.

Registry Key Handling Through PHP:
This is an ready to use code. You just need to copy this code into a PHP file.
//php Code starts from here......
//Reading the Registry
$Wshshell= new COM('WScript.Shell');
$data= $Wshshell->regRead('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-Zip\path');
echo "Data is::".$data;
//Function for writing to the registry.
function registry_write($folder, $key, $value, $type="REG_SZ")
{
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$registry = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\" . $folder . "\\" . $key;
try{
$result = $WshShell->RegWrite($registry, $value, $type);
echo "Entry is Successfully written at:".$registry;
return($result);
}
catch(Exception $e){
echo "Some Exception in Registry writing".$e;
}
return false;
}
// Function to deleting from the Register Entry.
function registry_delete($folder, $key, $value, $type="REG_SZ")
{
$WshShell = new COM("Wscript.shell");
$registry = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\" . $folder . "\\" . $key;
try{
$result = $WshShell->RegDelete($registry);
echo $key." is Successfully deleted from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\" . $folder ;
return($result);
}
catch(Exception $e){
echo "Some Exception with the code::".$e;
}
return false;
}
//Here 7-ZIP is taken as a example.
$folder = "7-ZIP";
$key = "Key_name";
$value = "Key_Value";
registry_write($folder,$key,$value);
//registry_delete($folder,$key,$value);
?>

For Mac users (Leopard/Tiger/Lion) it's worth knowing exactly where your httpd.conf and php.ini ares picked up, but, out of the box, these are defined only in the compiler settings as defaults.
The httpd binary was compiled with default settings of
SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"
meaning starting apache using apachectl picks up this httpd.conf without it being specified on the command line via the org.apache.httpd.plist file is /System/Library/LaunchDaemons.
Again, the default httpd.conf does not contain a PHPIniDir, and locates php.ini via libphp5.so in /etc - you would need to create one here (using one of the php.ini.default templates if you want).
It's worth changing the PHPIniDir setting in httpd.conf setting to eg.:
Configuration File /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini
so you know exactly which php.ini is being used at all times.
phpinfo() will then advise you that it's using this file.

Note that, changing the PHP configuration via the windows registry will set the new values using php_admin_value. This makes that you cannot override them on runtime.
So for example, if you set the include_path on the windows registry and then you call the set_include_path function in your application, it will return false and won't change the include_path.
